Hanna Seely, NCPS

Hanna Seely helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She also supports those facing grief, self-esteem difficulties, career worries and the impacts of trauma and abuse. Hanna welcomes LGBT concerns, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and issues connected to ADHD and life changes.

Hanna practises in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS. She brings three years of professional counselling experience and nearly a decade of work in education. That background means she is used to working with developmental and life-stage concerns and understanding everyday pressures on parents and professionals.

Her style is person-focused and practical. Sessions begin by listening closely to what feels most urgent. Hanna then works with each person to set small, achievable goals and to try techniques that fit their situation.

She draws on several counselling approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That mix lets her respond to immediate problems like anxiety while also looking at longer-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-belief.

Hanna aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can name what feels hard and test new ways of coping. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes and offers support for common concerns such as communication problems, abandonment and attachment issues, codependency and the emotional effects of illness.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Hanna uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead to build understanding and trust; it helps when someone needs a steady compassionate presence. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hanna will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed and needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when connection and bandwidth permit. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or fit a short break at work. Live chat and text sessions are useful for ongoing check-ins and for people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to keep continuity between appointments.
